Yin Yang III
Chart for September 27 1980, the day R J Simpson, premier of the Northwest Territories was born
The solar chart
Silence can accompany the first social sign of the zodiac, interviews where nothing is said, I cannot say, I cannot speak for, we’ll have to wait and see
In the sign of a prophetess, where there can be speculation, future planning
where a medium lives, a go between
where there is a balance and where there are claws
silence
He said more than he ever did before during his Uranus opposition Uranus, and he may continue doing so despite himself, with the transits of slow moving planets touching him, Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini forming a grand trine with his natal Sun

Land claims
revisiting treaties
nwttimeline.ca/stories/the-birth-of-indigenous-land-claims/
They began in 1973 with Pluto and Uranus in Libra, the lunar nodes in the Cancer Capricorn polarity
They began with a claim so vast, it covered all of the NWT
It was overturned when Saturn in Cancer conjoined the point of Ketu
The claim process would then become regionalised, with Pluto in Libra and Uranus in Scorpio
the horizon Listen kid, if you want to be premier, you need to master the politics of the horizon

He would have communicated with the Tłı̨chǫ government leaders
he would communicate with the regions before a complaint like this got out
he would educate the village that raised him, behind the scenes
The interviewer seems to activate the wish of the universe, to educate
He studied law, the ruler of the ninth house, and the twelfth, conjunct Pluto in Libra
this place of principles that guide the land
place of treaties revisited, treaties made
with the regions, Uranus in Scorpio
Uranus, higher octave of Mercury, Mars Uranus, arete in deciphering treaties

at the bending of the nodes

13:46 – 15:36
The lunar work in Aquarius where there are universal systems
that don’t always cater to individual needs
Not everyone can drive to a hospital in the NWT, he says. Some have to be flown to Yellowknife
He advises that services planned for all of Canada should take into consideration the unique conditions up there
Venus conjunct the point of Rahu in Leo in the eleventh house
of the group that he belongs to
house of pooled resources
It must be taxing to cater to individual needs and stay within budget
The way out of the t square is in Aquarius where one size fits all
We’d be more like that if the highways were extended, he says
youtube.com/watch?v=R1PPljODAdk
The grand trine in air
sending ripples into the future
He would not have joined politics if it meant joining a party, Aries in the seventh house
The interviewer asks him why they chose him to be premier, If it’s not based on a party’s platform, he must have had a vision they liked
First of all, he stuck around, he says. Not everyone in the group he belongs to sticks around and let’s the branch grow roots.. They get an education and they leave
but Venus in his chart didn’t let him pause for thought, she made him skip, skip, skip
held by Mars Uranus in Scorpio opposing the Moon in Taurus
his vision to see pending land claims resolved
Venus ruler of Taurus
left pending
ruler of Libra where there is a horizon
where the personal, my road, can meet the impersonal, our road
Libra, first social sign of the zodiac, first to experience blinds opening, eyes watching
the ruler in Leo where we can play with a mirror, the only eyes watching are the ones that hold it
Scorpio can shield
and Libra can paint a balanced picture
The problems to resolving land claims aren’t insurmountable, he says. Once resolved, the government would shrink
Ripples
His progressed sun conjoining his natal Mars
The house of work in Pisces where there were children who could not read or write signing treaties
the house of work in Pisces, this place of all generations
He went to his meeting in the Yukon, first time to the Yukin, and he saw their highway
to match it, connect with it
Today Saturn is transiting Aries, Saturn that can work toward a vision, bring a reality check to a vision
make adjustments
Saturn that can build a barrier between life and death
and Jupiter is transiting Leo, Jupiter that can bring expansion, fertilise something new in him
his jurisdiction
regions in the NWT, the NWT a region of Canada
the lunar nodes turned around
Rahu in Aquarius
The politics of the horizon, Saturn on the horizon where the personal and the impersonal meet, where the personal journey ends holding ourselves whole, and the social journey begins seeing ourselves in another
Saturn ruler of Capricorn and Aquarius, where Pan lives in Arcadia and where there’s an outsider by choice, where there are the laws of the land and the universal systems of a society
planets come to help him keep a balance
Chart for March 24 1994, the day Giulia Steingruber was born
youtube.com/watch?v=tZA8fWy6Nf8
In the solar chart, the twelfth house in chaos
until she made sense of it
and could participate in holding her sister’s chart
Mercury ruler of the house of siblings in Pisces
It wasn’t enough to say shut up. She had to crown layers of meaning with one
the right one
The first time she did, joy reigned at home
What did she want?
Her teddy bear
She was twelve years old when she said that she wanted to go to the Olympics, and everyone in the room laughed
Maybe the patterns she made weren’t out of the ordinary
but what they couldn’t see was her ability to control hunger
she practised controlling hunger until joy reigned
in her
To break the limitations of the body
a mother’s supervision
a mother who heard the people in the room laugh and wanted to kill them all
There are archetypes in Aquarius, the ideal height, the ideal weight of an athlete
there are norms
she was too tall, she would have to jump three metres high to do the acrobatics on the vault
There is science in Aquarius, the expectations of science
There is reason in Aquarius, reason that can compete with the gods
Jason alone confronting the dragon
Jason and Medea’s potions confronting the dragon
the friction between them in Aries
Venus can exacerbate the friction
she can bring limits to the sign of no limits
she can bring self consciousness to the sign that is unselfconscious
A group that checks for potions in the body
A group that tolerates imperfection
youtube.com/watch?v=0nr0eTK97_A
A group that limits time, the pressure that every generation has to master the craft before the body changes
youtube.com/watch?v=xWz2vuiIc90
The lunar work in Taurus, and Rahu in Scorpio, initiatory sign
Pluto conjunct the point of Rahu, she may have skipped an initiation
The void she was meant to experience when she retired from gymnastics, she has always said that she didn’t experience it that extremely, although her environment would say differently, and she goes on to please her environment. It took her two years to find a sport she liked, but she was already working
Pluto conjunct the point of Rahu in Scorpio and Uranus in Capricorn, she skipped an initiation with Capricorn in mind, her reputation, her legacy, knowing her limits, and she had to plan for her old age, her parents had been supporting her while she was an athlete, it was time, she was 27, her progressed sun making its entry into Taurus
Or it could be that she felt she had skipped an initiation
and had the body she has, the energy for two
To be guided by guilt
Finding a place for both of them
Laughter informing the Moon in Leo, we’ll show them
Patriotic fans cheering every time she pinned it
Letting go of the guilt, her progressed sun in Taurus
Chart for Mauricio Fiol, born March 26 1994, Lima Peru, data from birth record
youtube.com/watch?v=71Ru4ljBX2E
Discipline behind the scenes, a family holding his chart
until swimming helped with cohesion and purpose
He skipped an initiation, he did not have to figure out who he’d be when he grew up, his body and his ability found him a place
His club nicknamed him Shark Fiol and he was chosen to promote swim meets
youtube.com/watch?v=InYqBo1f29I
She was sure that he would surprise them
the goal was to win, break records
the expectations, the pressure
There is friction in Aries, how to confront a dragon, and there is friction in Capricorn, abiding by the laws, escaping the laws
swimswam.com/mauricio-fiol-vows-to-defend-his-innocence-in-youtube-video/
He didn’t do it and he would defend himself
If he did, he skipped an initiation, to take responsibility, hold himself whole, hold his chart
He took it to court but couldn’t prove his innocence, maybe the meat he ate in his country before traveling was contaminated, but he wouldn’t be able to trace it. He was suspended for four years, Saturn ruler of Capricorn, ruler of Aquarius can put him in the twelfth house

12:08 – 16:30
youtube.com/watch?v=u60XuaGxecY
In a country where warnings are passed by word of mouth that minced meat could be contaminated with horse meat, every TV station, radio station was interviewing doctors
In a country that was becoming known for its gastronomy, it sent ripples
His lunar work in Taurus where there is the body, the body of an athlete and what he eats
In a Swiss court, he was Peru, a country that skipped responsibilities
a country whose president shamed an athlete without consolidating all that came before
a country that did not control its hunger
26 trials, push him
What pushed him to take a banned substance?
In 2015, the year of his punishment, Pluto was in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries
a review of the laws of a land, lawmakers, people in authority, people holding permits to build irrigation canals
a chance to make new laws
Saturn was transiting Scorpio, a chance to control hunger
what the country still had to learn, how to crown Jupiter with the stellium in Pisces, and apply the point of Rahu and Pluto conjunction
not to fear an initiation
Jupiter was transiting Leo, this place of mirrors, a chance to change reflections, not to always be a shark
But the country wasn’t ready
Morality in survival

There is an even light in Aquarius, Saturn can take it into the twelfth house for urine samples, and Neptune Uranus in Capricorn can save a place
and they can sing
youtube.com/watch?v=SYOCqZYS3m0
The day of his punishment, Neptune was transiting Pisces, slow moving planet, conjunct his natal Mercury
Pisces where there is a war in the heavens
and a place of refuge
a lie can become a place of refuge
There were those willing to give proof the benefit of the doubt, willing to forgive him and to help him
In this place of no boundaries, he has skills, to put them to good use
Scorpio in the eighth house of the empty place, house of other people’s resources, he had accumulated debt
He took the first steps to give swim lessons, swim clinics around the city
the first steps to holding his chart without pressure, the Moon in Virgo, scholastic, showing him a way out of pressure
Then came the end of his punishment, and members of his group tested him, he was welcome to join and fill a spot that wasn’t taken, be part of the team, it would be unethical to put him in spots already taken
He argued, and with media support, got the spots he wanted, his progressed sun making its entry into Taurus
Places in between, Mercury the ruler, in Pisces where there is Pan, Pan in Capricorn, Pan in Pisces
war, chaos, the cry of Pan, flanked by Saturn and Mars
the ability to navigate through chaos, flanked by Saturn and Mars
His mother says that she replaced ritalin with swimming, swimming his discipline, mastery
swimming that pushed him to break records
a punishment that gave him a taste of the outcast
They did not save the place he wanted, needed. He took people’s spots. It could not have been a friendly environment
An outcast by choice
youtube.com/watch?v=JvOxWpuEpyc
He chose his own initiation, holding himself whole, holding his chart, choosing his own place, the place of an outcast
Knowledge, Jupiter was transiting Sagittarius, completion of understanding, realisation
He had told the court that his improvements in time were because of superior conditioning, 1:58 to 1:55. To go back to 1:58 would reveal the lie
To reveal the lie would hurt his mother, his family, his trainers
Saturn was transiting Capricorn, and the nodes were in the Capricorn Cancer polarity, Saturn conjoining the point of Ketu, dissolving a permit, the medal he had hoped to win back
Chart for August 1 2029, the day he announced that he had tested positive in the anti doping test, timed to make Aries the rising sign. On August 5, the day of the interview, the Moon was in Libra
On this day the stellium in Pisces was no longer under Neptune’s umbrella. He was on his own
He had relied on other people’s strategy, was a product of other people’s strategy. This was his own
On this day the Sun was in Leo where we are careful who we blame
He blamed. He could not discard sabotage, he said, insinuating that members of the club were involved
He blocked his passage into the club, ended a stage
and began to fertilise something new in the Taurus Scorpio polarity
the ability to hold himself, body and mind
outside the club
A lie revealed, a lie concealed
he could now truly say that he didn’t do it, he’s clean
because he did it on purpose, his logic personal
His conscience clear, whether we believe him or not
he walks to the Moon in Virgo

An aside
His body would have given him away, not the polygraph test
The split is in Gemini where the Erinyes chase us
In between is Taurus
There is punishment in Taurus. A king who did not sacrifice a bull back to the gods, a wife who held his guilt, a guilt buried in a labyrinth beneath the palace, until the guilt was punished
They say that in Taurus guilt can be passed on from one generation to the next, it has a life of its own
With the help of a clue, Ariadne led Theseus into the labyrinth and Theseus killed the guilt
With the help of a clue, Ariadne went into the labyrinth and befriended the guilt, educated it, brought it to the surface
There are children too young to fly in Taurus, children we hold
This is wrong, we say, and we punish with a suspension, go to your room, with three Hail Marys, with a fine
to learn a lesson
to be released of guilt
There is Inanna’s story in the sign, Gilgamesh’s rejection and her insistence that Anu release the Bull of Heaven, not caring that it would bring seven years of famine to the earth. The story brings the polarity together, not just a punishment, but an initiation. She came back with responsibility and she came back with magpies
There is punishment in Taurus. It prepares us for the split in Gemini
guilt outside of us, guilt inside of us
Dante must have had planets in Taurus, because if we read his Inferno, it can split us
They say he was born circa 1265. In 1265, the lunar nodes were in the Cancer Capricorn polarity
In 1264 the nodes were in the Leo Aquarius polarity
He says he was born in the sign that follows Taurus on Heaven’s track
He was born in the middle ages, a time and place when the planets in the sky, gods in the sky and the old myths still mingled with the new god, relatively new in comparison
His generation though would put a dividing line between them, and he would do it in writing. Even his guide, Virgil, and poets like Homer and Ovid, could not enter heaven. The virtuous pagans were in Circle 1, Limbo
He opens the doors to hell beneath us, layered hell, every sin its punishment, and he is bold, he puts living examples in various layers from his natal Florence, friars included, he wasn’t blinded by his religion, and he was pretty pissed off. It must have amused him to put Tom there, Dick over there, and Harry way over there
Yet no matter how personal, how political, his work is visionary, no, wrong word, it’s palpable
He saw long lines of people in a river of excrement that seemed the overflow of the world’s latrines, people smeared in shit, and he recognised one of them, Alessio Interminelli da Lucca, standing on his head, punishment for all the flatteries he sold the living
The Church must have thanked him for making hell a reality, later on, because when he wrote it he was a White Guelph in exile, the pope didn’t like him so much, he had time to write
Virgil couldn’t take him to Paradise, and here was the dividing line, he was a pagan, baptism the dividing line, children who weren’t baptised were with the poets in Limbo
Beatrice took over. He had laboured through hell, and purified himself to enter heaven with her as his guide
Dante and Beatrice by Ary Scheffer
Hell below, in the core of the earth, and heaven above, all we have to do is look at the planets and the fixed stars
In the sphere of the moon, a nun who’d broken her vows because she had been forced to marry, in the sphere of Mercury, an emperor who had pruned the law of waste, excess and sham, but had also sought personal honour, in the sphere of Venus, those who turned away from vanities and ill-born impieties to true love, in the sphere of the sun, those who did god’s will on earth, like St. Francis, gathering souls to his fold, in the sphere of Mars, warriors of god, crusaders, in the sphere of Jupiter there’s an eagle that talks about eternal justice, In the eternal justice, consequently, the understanding granted to mankind is lost as the eye is within the sea
They had to slow down as they approached the sphere of Saturn, or what happened to Semele would have happened to Dante. In the sphere of Saturn were those who’d led an ascetic life, dedicated to meditation and prayer, rooted in god’s service. They bemoaned the corruption of pastors now a days, grown bloated and vain. Warn them, they said
A golden ladder connected the sphere of Saturn to the fixed stars, the realm of god, the Virgin and her son, bliss
To have had the privilege
to be the messenger
Earth the centre, earth that seals the soul, earth that can lead astray, the soul to live on in hell beneath our feet, or in one of the planets in the sky, depending on the sort of purity
Chart for May 22 1264, Florence
There are no boundaries between life and death in Aries, and Venus can ask that we lower the risks
It was straightforward when it was life and Hades, one underworld for everyone, but the new religion complicated death with salvation and damnation
Compelled to do the work of Aries, to lower the risks of damnation, of punishment, and enter the kingdom of heaven
It all began when midway in his life’s journey, he went astray from the straight road and woke to find himself alone in a dark wood. He saw a hill in the distance, the hill suddenly illuminated by the sun’s rays, the planet whose virtue leads men straight on every road. He would climb it, cllimb out of the dark wood, but alas, a leopard, a lion and a she-wolf blocked his way, threatening his advance. Nothing left but to turn back, when he heard a voice, the voice of a shade, Virgil no less, the poet he most admired, but a poet in a time of false gods
How false were they? He had explored them and found truth in them, their influence real
Pagans the new religion called them, look higher ye baptised
Pagans and baptised, there were false people in both
Why don’t you sit on that rock, Virgil said
He sat on the rock and pondered
how to erase the moral crossroads without erasing them
how to follow his heart
Make me your guide through hell, said Virgil. No better than a pagan to shield you from the fires of hell
and then he’d make the old gods stepping stones to reach the new one, he’d fertilize a heaven of his own
He didn’t know he would until he started his ascent
First the descent, said Virgil
Venus
She’d shown him visions of the damned, medieval visions
Why don’t you spice it up a bit, she said
Spice it up as much as you’d like, said Mars. It will protect you from excommunication when you touch the taboo in paradise
Good strategy, said Athena
There are parallel universes in Aquarius
the traditional ruler in Taurus
The modern ruler in Aries
Pluto in Sagittarius weaving, with Jupiter Uranus in Aries, Venus applying,
tied to visions of the past
What could he add, what was missing?
Saturn Locality
There are moments of humour in hell that may have inspired artists like Hieronymus Bosch
but here we see them through Dante’s eyes and he is terrified
The captain of a sector gathers ten fiends to help him and Virgil cross a ridge overlooking a boiling pit. Grizzly, Hellken, Deaddog, Curlybeard, Grafter, Dragontooth, Pigtusk, Catclaw, Cramper and Crazyred all stick their pointed tongues out at the captain before they start, and the captain gives the go ahead making a trumpet of his ass
In the boiling pit is the shade of Friar Gomita of Gallura, hanged for taking bribes
Specific examples of sin and punishment
Punishment below and reward above
He craned his neck to look at the sky
Venus, shining bright
To change her reflection
make her the abode of souls
followers of the true love
To change the reflection of all the planets, turn them into heaven
give the old gods an update, Aquarius that can make new what’s old
A descent into
the guilt
an ascent into
the split
They can co exist
a guilt passed on and our own conscience, the Erinyes in us
Today there is a stellium in Leo, the lunar work is in Leo, this place that can atone for the sins of others
make guilt one’s own
There are children in Leo, the child in all of us
Delicate times
